    I miss this place so much from when it was Flushing! I paid a visit the other day and immediately remembered why I liked this spot. Their curry is really something special. The flavor is rich and creamy and actually spicy. I enjoyed all the tofu and eggplant inside as well. Their char kway teow has a good base flavor but could definitely use a bit more spice. I also wish they marinated their seafood because that was a bit bland honestly. We also ordered a coffee and milk tea which were both delicious. Very creamy and strong flavor but also quite sweet. It's a bit of a small space but sufficient. They also have good lunch specials during the week.

    YUM - this spot was delicious! Wide variety of Halal options. Everything we got was honestly great! Even though the dishes were noted to be spicy, I didn't feel that they were, as someone who's sensitive to spice. I also got the Cold Teh Tarik (Coffee/Tea drink) and it was very refreshing. Special shoutout to the Laksa Noodle Soup, which was surprisingly very good! It was my first time having that dish and I really liked the flavor! The noodles were just the right texture as well. LES is over saturated with pizza and burgers, but I'd absolutely recommend this Malay spot. Lots of seating as well and the staff are accommodating.

    Little restaurant with maybe 6 tables for four, but also probably does a significant carry out business. Thankfully I got in right around 5pm and was able to save a table for my part of 3 who was 5-10min behind me. While I waited I ordered some tasty roti with chicken curry, sambal, and dahl, which I would absolutely order again and refuse to share out of desire to have it all to myself. We also got the half chicken, which came as a plate set up to share family style, rice and sides as extra, but they did provide some garlic and sambal style extras. Loved the Seafood Mee Goreng noodle dish, and would absolutely order that at least once a week to satisfy a craving. The spinach and beef(?) not sure what it was called was very "pungent" intentionally so, a very different flavor, but fresh as well.

    We were walking home and just noticed the new restaurant in town. I've been to the Papparich in Flushing a few times and remembered it was quite good, so we were excited to check it out. The restaurant is quite small but we were greeted right away and seated near the door. We ordered the roti canai with beef rendang (served on what I call a jail plate), Hainanese chicken, beef char kway teow, and the seafood wat tan hor. The food was cooked extremely fast and came out only minutes after we ordered it. Unfortunately everything lacked seasoning. Pretty much all the dishes were bland and for some reason the flat noodles all seemed stuck together. I cannot tell you one dish that stood out. And the egg based gravy for the wat tan hor was soup level runny. I can get much better Malaysian for the same price only a few blocks away in Chinatown. As much as I wanted to love this place, it really was a disappointment. The hostess/server was nice but if this is the quality of food they're putting out, it won't last very long. This is a one and done for us. I suggest you go elsewhere for Malaysian.

    Cool Malaysian spot with large portions! I order the hainanese chicken rice set (boneless) with free range chicken. There were a good amount of chicken, a side of bean sprouts, 3 different types of sauce, a bowl of rice, and a small bowl of soup. The soup was refreshing and tasty. Service was quick and food came out fast too.

    Delicious and super authentic Malaysian food! The curry laksa is massive and full of flavor. Char kway teow has amazing wok taste and lots of seafood. Beef rendang with coconut rice is a must. Great portions, fair prices, friendly staff. My new go-to for Southeast Asian comfort food!

    Small but clean place! Lots of servers and atleast 5 chefs. Service is super fast! Lychee soda and the iced white coffee both are amazing. The soda is on the sweeter side but with the lemon and mint they add it's the perfect drink on a hot day especially with the spicy food. Clarification before we dive deep - food is spicy not hot. We were two of us and felt really greedy cos the food was so yummy and ordered three entrees lol Roti canai is one of the best I have heard. I got it with beef rendang- the meat was so juicy and tender and that curry was perfect. The dhal was thick and complex and just perfection. Thanks god for the sambal - it adds a hint of sweetness while also packing a punch Beef mee goreng - also an amazing dish. Flavorful and amazing flavors. I actually wished it was spicier. Finally, the hainanese chicken was excellent. Very light but made flavorful with all the accompaniments. The broth is dope! Why I deducted one star - I'd like to see some sambal on the table. And a tad more attention to service - for example they can give a spoon for the chicken broth. Also maybe some wet wipes as you have to get your hands dirty for the roti canai. Simple things like these but definitely nothing that will keep me away from this place. I'll go back very soon

    My friend from Singapore once told me that Pappa Rich is, to quote, the "Chili's of Malaysia." As a result, I never prioritised making a stop here when they were located in Flushing. But their new Lower East Side location seemed like a perfectly convenient spot for a lunch meeting. We shared the roti canai with dhal to start. Roti canai is basically a Malabar parotta, and the dhal here had a nice flavor with a hint of jeera. For my main, I had the veg char kway teow, which had an excellent smokiness from the wok hai.

    Looked up Malaysian cuisine in the area and this popped up! Restaurant recently opened here, the original location was in Flushing. I'll start off with how welcoming I felt by the staff. We were three adults and two babies under two and they weren't upset with our request with moving the tables around/changing seats. The space is small but can probably fit 5-6 groups of four. I let my friends do the ordering and we got the roti with three dips, belacan, beef wat dan hor, and beef rendang, and chicken rice. Amazing flavor. The roti was good, though I wanted it to be larger and softer but the curries were a decent portion. Belacan was salted and spiced nicely. Probably could've cut it into smaller pieces since it was a never ending twirl of the fork, but that's the beauty of this vegetable. Beef rendang was saucy and meat was tender. Definitely needed the bowl of rice to go with the the intense flavor. The wat dan hor was on the saltier side but I didn't mind it all. The eggy slurry of sauce was a delight. We all ordered a coffee, which came in a paper cup, perfect for takeaway. At the end of the meal, we were stuffed!

    A cozy and clean Malaysian restaurant slightly outside of Chinatown. Went on a sunday afternoon for an easy lunch, the Hainanese chicken is decent with tender chicken and a richer chicken broth than expected, the rice could be slightly fluffier. The laksa has a rich broth. Chicken wings make a great appetizer with crispy skin. The cold white coffee is super rich and definitely wakes you up!

    My husband and I had an off day and went to visit the newly opened Pappa Rich on a Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately it was a quiet lunch day as we were the only customers (but I expected it since it's out of the way and not near any office crowd). I do wish there was a lunch menu though. Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken - chicken was soft, tender and flavorful but the sambal sauce wasn't spicy or authentic enough (coming from a true Singaporean). Coconut rice is wasn't overpowering but could have more coconut taste to it. Roti Canai with Beef Rendang - the roti and beef Rendang combo was phenomenal but that was about it. The beef itself wasn't tender enough and again the sambal sauce didn't have much taste to it besides the fact that it was spicy. The other sauce was thick and pretty much tasted like any other curry sauce.

    Amazing and they have lunch specials! Papparich has been around for so long! A staple in Malaysia! When they moved from Flushing to Lower East Side, I was a bit nervous for them! Do people in this neighborhood understand their legacy and how solid their Malaysian food is? I get the Curry Shredded Chicken Laksa with Mixed Noodles ($15.90 + tax) which is super solid! Their curry broth heals the soul and is so strong! Just magnificent! I try to stop by and support when I can!

    Popped into PappaRich for a rather late dinner (we ended up being the last ones there - sorry). Place is small and very casual, but the food is so hearty, delicious and filling. I went with the Curry Laksa Noodles Soup with shredded chicken. What a savory and flavorful broth! There was a lot of chicken too, but I do wish I had gotten it with seafood instead. Wonderful meal, would highly recommend.

So when the server asked us what we'd like to drink, we asked for hot water (later found out we were charged $1 for each cup of hot water). We ordered the beef rendang, chicken satay and singapore noodles (with tofu and vegetables). I had been hoping to try the soft shelled crab but perhaps it's out of season or no longer on the menu as I didn't see it. The chicken satay came out first, it was 4 sticks of skewered chicken drenched in a slightly spicy creamy peanut sauce. This was the second favorite dish of the table as the chicken was tender and the peanut sauce paired well with it. The singapore noodles were unexpected the favorite of the table. The flavor profiles weren't too crazy just a simple curry flavor but mixed with the thin noodles and other ingredients, it was savory and not too heavy to eat a lot of. The beef rendang was the last dish to come out, the beef pieces were very tender and this was the spiciest dish out of all 3 that we had ordered. It came with about a bowl's worth of white rice on the side and some cucumbers and purple cabbage salad. It was a pretty okay lunch. Not the best Malaysian food I've had (Chinatown is still the best spot for me) but it's a good spot if you're craving Malaysian food in the west village area. Bathrooms were immaculately clean which is always a plus.
